Baby Pie


Baby Pie

My now 12 (!) year old son takes insults literally. 
When someone calls him stupid, 
he usually responds that he is not stupid.
I am very proud of my smart son.
What a great unemotional response.
During a recent long car trip he reacted a little
differently to the charge of being a big baby.
He started quoting Baby Pie.
This picture book with three hungry trolls
must have made quite a big impression on him, 
since I read it with his brother quite some time 
ago. 
Smoink and his friends are hunting for a baby 
to bake in a pie and they've found the perfect 
one for their dinner. Or have they?
A good picture book for a variety of ages
with a surprising and satisfying ending that
you can discuss and giggle about with
your child.
Dr. Who watching parents out there take note,
Tom MacRae authored some of those scripts
as well.
